AN AM has called on the Welsh Government to make North Wales largest town an Enterprise Zone”.

Clwyd South AM, Ken Skates, made the call after it was announced five zones are to be set up across Wales.

They include one to focus specifically on advanced manufacturing in Deeside and another on Anglesey.

The WG will receive an extra £10m over five years from the Treasury to progress the Enterprise Zone initiative, which will offer companies incentives to re-locate, such as tax concessions, high speed broadband and easier planning regulations.

Mr Skates said: “The decision to establish enterprise zones is a positive one, but I do hope the Welsh Government will also look urgently at the possibility of setting up another such zone in Wrexham.

“In South Wales they are going to establish a zone in Cardiff, the largest urban area, so it’s logical and sensible to look at doing the same in North Wales.”
